Well, in general, I decided: if I can’t use the original assets (textures, models, translations, sounds, etc.), then I can make a “loader”. This mod requires the original ic2 exp jar and extracts the assets from it, formatting them directly in memory. I’ve already added all the items and their textures, so the entire visual part is there; all that’s left is the functionality. If we look at the legislation of the EU and the USA, copyright protects only the implementation, not the full functionality, and my project doesn’t have the resources or code of the original. In general, it’s possible that I’ll be able to revive ic2 on new versions (although modrinth’s moderation is unpredictable — they called my mod with languages (it was in .jar format and had a full mods.toml) a resource pack and said I was wrong. How long has it been since we’ve been fucking supplying resource packs in .jar format?)
